distributes
His salvific benefits to those who believe (Acts 2:14-3665

Col.
1:15-2:6; Heb. 1:5-13). Consequently New Testament writers

rightly
applied Psalm 110 to Jesus Christ in keeping with David's

original
utterance.

Thus it seems reasonable to suggest that Psalm 110 is a

typological-prophetic
oracle of the Lord from the preexilic time

period.
David prophetically spoke the psalm to his "lord," Solomon,

when
Solomon ascended to the Davidic throne in 971 B.C. Psalm 110

was
then applied in the New Testament to Jesus Christ as the ultimate

and
unique Davidic King and Lord.

64 The term
"typological-prophetic" refers to a pattern and promise present in an
Old Testament text so that a short-term event pictures and mirrors an ultimate
and unique fulfillment in the New Testament. See Bock, Proclamation from
Prophecy and Pattern, 49-50.
